In the Republic of Serbia, the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS7), dealing with the situation of children, women and households, is starting in 136 municipalities on September 15.
SORS interviewers will visit more than 10 000 households and conduct the interview face to face with the members of the selected households. Field work will last until December 2025.
We kindly ask the citizens selected in the sample for this survey to welcome the interviewers and answer their questions.
The Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (SORS), in cooperation with INICEF and with the financial support of UNICEF, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Republic of Serbia and other partners, is conducting the seventh cycle of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS7) in the Republic of Serbia.
MICS is a global survey program for collecting data on the most vulnerable population groups – children aged under 5, as well as children aged 5-17, but also for collecting data on women’s and men’s health and situation.
In the period from September 15 to December 15, 2025, in 136 municipalities throughout the Republic of Serbia 11 SORS teams (about 70 assistants) will be engaged in interviewing households’ members and measuring children.
MICS7 is conducted on a representative sample as two surveys – one including 8 000 households of the general population and the second 2 000 households of the population in Roma settlements. Collected data refer to children’s development in early childhood, immunization, health, breast feeding and feeding infants, children’s education, early marriages, women’s reproduction health, living conditions, water quality, use of energy by households, etc.
During field work SORS assistants will have identification cards with the logos of UNICEF, UNFPA and SORS. Besides the logos, the cards will also bear the assistant’s photograph, ID number and authorization.
The selected households will receive by post a letter to the attention of the household head, and all police stations on the territory where the interviewers will work will be informed about the conduction of the survey.
Individual data collected in all phases of this survey are treated as official secret by all participants. The data will be used exclusively for statistical processing, and they will be published only as aggregates, by selected demographic and economic characteristics, in line with the law.
All collected data are used exclusively for statistical purposes and are treated as strictly confidential.
